Curse of the Navari
Judgement of the Damned

Before this age of man, the world was a inhabited by those who are long forgotten. Creatures who's existence is now denied, and their origin unexplainable. By today's standards, they would be described as demons. At first, these demons were of little consequence, they lived poor lives and were subject to the harsh nature of the world. In order to adapt, they began to absorb the characteristics of other things around them. Animals, plants, even inorganic rock. They began to evolve over time, quicker than any other species. Soon, there were hundreds, if not thousands of different demon breeds. They fought for supremacy over all things. The weak perished, the strong survived. As they continued to fight amongst themselves, the world continued to change. Snakes became lizard kings, ice spread across the planet. An insignificant species evolved into the dominant one, as demon numbers began to wane. Forced to interbreed with their rivals, many sought new ways to survive.

Primitive man was an easy target. Though simple minded, their instinct to attack the different meant demons could not simply use them as they had initially hoped. Instead, they appeared to them, amazing them with tricks. They posed as gods and angels, some even becoming the monsters of the faith formed around those initial 'sightings'. At this time there were only a few pureblood demons remaining. One such species was known as the Nosfur. Blood drinkers, who's strength came with the night and waned with the sun, they survived only through their guile and cunning, feeding off man and demon alike. Yet, with man's numbers rising, and demonic races dwindling, their survival looked bleak.

Time passed, and history took it's course. The demon numbers became smaller, while man grew more intelligent. Those that had survived were now amongst the few who remained. Their initial attempts to use man by creating faith worked against them, as man twisted faith to serve it's own will. Demons were hunted and killed, leaving those remaining to go into hiding, eking out a meagre existence underground. The Nosfur weren't so lucky. Their taste for human blood was their undoing. The last few survivors of the entire race were chased across Europe, finally ending up in Slavic Russia, one of million was the last living member. Weak and close to death, it came upon a girl, lost and alone in the woodland. Intent on keeping the species alive, it raped the girl, feeding her it's own blood in the process. The girl died a painful death, but it wasn't until the moon shone directly down upon her corpse, that the Nosfur's plan came to be. Her body reanimated, human and Nosfur physiology joined together as one. She became the Nosferatu, child of Nosfur.

Her own thirst for blood driving her forwards, she fed on a small group of peasants, killing some and drinking them dry, whilst forcing others to drink her own blood. Te human body is more complex than anyone would have believed. It's ability to fight off foreign invaders would have stopped the Nosfur genome instantly. By killing them, it is free to unite the two systems and create the new being. The original Nosfur survived long enough to pass on his knowledge and teachings to his new children. On the eve of his death, his children set out upon the land and the Nosferatu began to rapidly grow in size. It is important at this point that you understand, not all demons are as evil or blood thirsty as the Nosfur were. There were some who cared for others, as much as they cared for their own. The Obyri, were not a single species of demon, but a collection of many, who long held the belief that the future belonged not the them, but to mankind.

Many of the Obyri had appeared before man and taken on the role of gods. It was this people that came to be the few who would learn of the Nosferatu's strengths and weaknesses. Protecting themselves and their homes with Iron and Silver, they swiftly became targets of the Nosferatu. Fearing that their protections would not last forever, the people prayed to their 'gods'. The Obyri knew that man alone would not be enough to defeat the Nosferatu. Agreeing upon the matter, they chose to give themselves up for the sake of others. As a mirror to the last of the Nosfur, the very last survivor of the Bielbog race came before the people.

Bielbog had become known to the people as a God, representing the Power of Good, as the demon's ability to change one thing into another was greatly revered. For with his last breath he joined each of the Obyri with new born children, and the sick and dying across the country. The people named these chosen the Navari. Part demonic Nav, part fallen hero Nari. Though the children would grow as normal humans, the sick and dying were spared. Though human in heart, mind and soul, they possessed the qualities, strengths and weaknesses of the Obyri that gave their lives for them. As the Navari grew, they waged war against the Nosferatu. The names of both spread across Russia, Europe and eventually the world, becoming known by many things. Over time, the Nosferatu and navari became respectfully known as Vampires, and Cursed. Eventually, the Nosferatu were forced underground, hiding in the shadows with the other remaining demons.

The Navari became a secret. Known only to each other, and to the people descended from those who originally brought them into being. It was originally believed to be only those descended from the original navari could become one, but this is not true. Though blood lines run deep, there are cases of Navari children being born into other families, all over the world. The last act of Bielbog, a guarantee that the Navari would never die out. Most Navari are born with entirely human features, though some can have varying levels of defects at birth. The Navari kept in contact with each other across the world, forming groups where they could. They would leave lives as best they could, fitting in with the rest of mankind, who were, for the most part, oblivious to what was going around them. When they were needed, the Navari would hunt the Nosferatu, or any other demon that was making a claim on the human race.

Time is like a river, and history repeats itself. As mankind began to fight amongst itself, warring with foreign nations over minor disputes, the demon race begin to thrive on the death and destruction. The religions they had original started, the ones that had turned man against them, was now fuelling man's desire for power. Demon numbers began to increase once again, and life became much more difficult for the Navari. Though power is always on the mind, man's quest for knowledge was much more powerful. The existence of creatures, neither animal or plant, was known to many brilliant minds. Several groups began to research these sightings and phenomena, cataloguing information over the internet, comparing news stories from the past and present. From these small groups, larger organisations were created.

Top secret government institutions, funded in secret, the staff sworn to secrecy. They existed outside of the regular line of authority, able to take control of any crime scene or case without anyone knowing differently. Trained in the most advanced of fields, with the widest range of knowledge. The Institute of Supernatural Examination, or ISE came to be known to most public services as a special government branch that dealt with odd cases. The true nature of their workings has never been revealed. ISE came to be frequently referred to as ICE, with operatives and staff nicknamed Snowmen, or Frosties. There were several cases of staff members going AWOL, vanishing along with their records. Many were rediscovered, but kept out of the loop. They had turned vigilante, hunting demons and vampires themselves. They became known as Jack Frost's. Though security is kept at the highest level possible, should one of them be turned, the ISE would have to make a concerted effort to take them out before they compromised the operation.

What the Nosferatu want now is a solution to their problem. Their society has grown underground, spanning several generations, with castes and a ruling head, the oldest living Nosferatu. The Navari are still hunting them down, and with the ISE prodding at them with electric prods and instruments, they want more. There are plenty of legends around, rites to raise ancient demons, incantations created long ago that tell of such atrocities that would spell doom for mankind. Which one will work, is another question. The ISE themselves are facing a major change as a new head of operations starts accelerating things and changing the groundwork originally laid down by the organisation. Some people have come to realise there is a word beyond what they know. most have accepted it, and embraced the demons, at least the ones that don't want them dead. The Navari, they've not changed much. As things usually are, whatever happens, it'll be down to them to put right.

The Navari

Name: Aries Burne
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Demon Species: Draconis (Ovis)
Notable Abilities: Significant proportion of skin covered in creamy-white scales, hard enough to deflect swords, clubs or other forms physical assault. Tail at lower back ends in forked spines with same toughness of scales, plus their bloody sharp too. Knits a mean sweater.
Weapons: A shotgun, the pellets of which are filled with with silver, as oppose to lead. And two Silver tipped daggers, approximately 5 inches in length, both with a smooth and serrated edge.

Description: About five foot in height, meaning that he appears a little thick round the middle. This isn't the case however, he's as well built as the next Navari. Not bringing his demon side into the equation yet, Aries has fluffy white hair, cut pretty short, but still with a curl to it. His complexion is fairly pale, but has vibrant green eyes that stand out a mile away (so he's been told). He's mostly found wearing loose jeans and t-shirts, anything that's comfy enough and can stop the tail getting sores. Now, his demon side? Well that's a funny thing. Aside from the tail, which is covered in creamy white scales, and ends in a fork with twin spines, most of his arms, legs and chest are covered in scales too. His palms, face and feet manage to escape that fortunately, but instead, his shoulders running down his back to the base of the tail.. that's all wool. Really fluffy white sheep's wool. The wool also grows around his forearms and ankles. On the sides of his head are two large, coiled, ram's horns.

When he's out hunting, Aries pads up with some basic body armour. The jeans get replaced with black and brown camouflage gear, while over a Kevlar vest goes a matt black jacket. He's been known to dye his hair (and wool) black sometimes, if it helps stay out of sight. He keeps the shotgun holstered under his jacket, while the two daggers are kept in sheaths hidden up both sleeves, so they can be pulled out when required.

Personality: Despite being the brunt of a few jokes regarding his origins, Aries is a pretty laid back kind of guy. He tends not to take offence at the jibes, instead turning them around so the joke is on his tormentor. Those that he is friends with know him well enough to avoid cracking a smart remark around him, but understand his jokes perfectly, and share a laugh at the expense of others. Aries is pretty strict about his appearance, he likes to keep himself well pruned, and well sheared too. All in all, he uses what he is as a weapon, acting the innocent joker then laying some hardcore violence down on things before they can stop laughing. Aries takes trust seriously, if he can't trust someone, then he can't work with them. If someone betrays his trust, then they are really fucked.

History: A regular Draconis Father and a human mother who worked on nothing other than a farm, brought into the world a boy covered in sheep's wool. The shock, followed but laughter all round was soon forgotten about when Aries was indoctrinated into the Navari cause. His training began soon, and despite him being the subject of several jokes, he did well enough for himself. His first time against a vampire ended in something of a disaster, when one of his team mates was killed due to them going off alone. After that, he swore that he would only hunt alone, or with people he trusted explicitly. After his horns had fully developed, Aries couldn't go out into public much, so spent most of his time hanging around demon friendly bars. He shares an apartment with a human called Don and a pure Aqua Nymph called Undine (not THE Undine mind).

Other: Aries does actually like the taste of lamb and mutton.


The Nosferatu

Name: Dakim
Age: 250
Gender: Male

Vampire Species: Carnivros
Birth: Soft Blood mother / Hard Blood father
Weapons: Wears a pair of gauntlets. Metal frames cover his hands and a little forearm, while the knuckles of the gloves bear small sharp spikes.

Description: A fairly good looking vampire, well built and fairly smart, enough to catch the eyes of eager yet easy prey. Ridges outline his red eyes, as well as along the jaw line. His hair is dark, auburn brown. As a Carnivros, his teeth are sharper than other vampires, the two main canines joined by a set on the bottom row of his teeth, while all his other teeth have a slight point to them also. Most of the time he is seen wearing heavily stained clothes, evidence of his feeding frenzies, where blood and fluids have stuck and dried to the clothing. His clothes change often, as he steals them from his prey before devouring them.

Personality: Dakim's personality is easily pigeon holed. He's a violent monster. Simply put, because it's true. Dakim's lust for pain, violence and death is matched only by his desire for power. What he wants, he takes, using any means he can. If he wants it bad enough, he'll not stop until he gets it. He has a massive distaste for authority, and would sooner kill someone telling him what to do that actually listen to them, regardless if they were right or wrong.

History: Dakim's mother, an 18th century noblewoman was sired by the Hard Blood vampire she would later bare a child with. In 1756 she birthed a hard blood child whom they named Dakim, an old word according to the father meaning, harbinger. He was treated like any other vampire for some time, it wasn't until his 'family' was forced to flee Spain. Attacked on route to a vampire safe house, his mother was killed, yet he survived by devouring one of her injured attackers. The boy was eventually found by his father, while little remained of the boys meal. After a hundred years of being raised by a gang of blood thirsty and incredibly violent vampires, he made his mark on the world. August 10th a hurricane devastates Last island, Louisiana. hundreds dead, hundreds more easy prey for the gang of vampires.

Eventually Dakim and the gang make their way to Europe again, where they are mercilessly hunted by the Navari. Few of the gang survive, and Dakim goes into hiding. Years later, Dakim hooks up with a Harpi and they flit around the world, feeding and avoiding the Navari. They make it to the underground Vampire community, where Dakim starts rising the ranks. He commands much respect from some vampires, while others would just as soon stab him in the back and take that power for themselves. So far, nobody has had any luck, and those that have tried, died for it.

Other: Has an on off sexual relationship with a Harpi named Lenna. All lust, no love.

Haven't finished my ISE form yet, will post it later. OK, now that this RPG is finally up, feel free to sign up everyone.

Navari

Name: Alex - 'Jumper'
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Demon Species: Arachnid - Jumping Spider
Notable Abilities: Powerful and long arms and legs, quite light, venomous spines and bites (a good bite can paralyze people within half a minute and they can stay paralyzed for a number of hours, depending on the length of the bite), wall crawler, can produce 'web' (not much of a spinner and not a web-slinger as per Spider-Man)
Weapons: Two silver daggers

Description: In full form, he stands at about seven-feet, his legs being very long. He has three set of arms, one set where a normal human's arms are meant to be and the other two sets protuding from his back. His arms are very long as well. He is quite lanky and although he might look gangly and clumsy, he is a very precise individual. He has two rows of four eyes, although his bottom two center eyes, where his normal human eyes are, are the most normal looking, his other six are red but when closed just look like scars. Nonetheless, if he wants to maintain a low-profile, he hunches slightly, wraps his extra arms around his waist, retracts his spines and wears a bandana that covers his six extra eyes. Normally wears a big black overcoat to hide his deformities, although his shirt covers his arms but don't hide the fact that they're there very well. His extra arms can rip holes through his shirt quite easily. Wears big black jeans and army boots. Has long silver and black hair and normally wears a black Stetson hat.
Personality: Ruthless, selfish and underhanded. While he does help other Navari, he only does it for the protection he knows he'll receive in return. While he is not as concerned with reducing the Nosferatu numbers as the other members are, he has no problem with killing any of them, or with killing anyone in fact. Some may label him as being a borderline psycho and others regard his as an insane homicidal maniac, he doesn't present much of a threat to the Navari themselves and that is possibly why they keep him around, or maybe just out of fear. When he is not hanging around with other Navari, he is a thief, and a pretty good one at that.
History: He doesn't care much for his past and neither does anyone else. All he knows is his mother was the Arachnid who ate his father, and so he doesn't know his surname. His mother is on the run from the ISE and may already be dead. Either way Alex was raised in a run-down orphanage and bullied for his height and size in general. On his twelth birthday, during the night he painfully grew extra limbs and eyes and, not wanting to be labelled a freak, ran outside and easily jumped over the twelve-foot fence. He eventually wound up in the underground and survived from kinder members of the Navari movement, although he was still bitter about his treatment when he was human and so denounced his human name, only wanting to be called 'Jumper'. Calling him by his human name 'Alex' is a mistake only few people have made and have the scars to prove it.

Other: Don't mess with him, he is a psycho. Seriously.

YAAAAY!!! *glomps Razor* I wuuuv this!! Time to bring in my old charries (new names, same dealies..)


The Navari

Name: Aier Tristemonai
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Demon Species: Draconis
Notable Abilities: Unlike most Draconis Navari, Aier does not possess any strength beyond that of a human. While she is extremely fast and graceful, it appears that the element of speed is her only asset.
Weapons: None

Description: Aier has been the subject of oddity her whole life. The day she hit puberty, her Navari traits arose to a mother who did not know the father. Her hair is long but reaches past her shoulders and is white-blonde, leaning towards the more white part of the color. Her eyes are silver but she has no black pupils, instead her black pupils are white. Her skin is ghosty pale as well and the only sign of her being a Draconis is the slim ivory white tail that protrudes from her clothes. She obviously is not a normal Albino yet it would appear that she was an Albino still. She has no visible wings for her Draconic form... but she does have them, however she will not know it until the RPG starts when her painful summoning of wings will form. Upon her hands are probably her biggest 'curse', for upon her right hand in her palm is a strange blackened symbol of the sun- it's black flames licking towards the top of her hand as well. Upon her left hand's palm is the symbol of the moon. She did not do anything to her hands... they just simply appeared one day and seemingly cannot be removed. Upon the streets she usually wears a black hooded robe that reaches all the way to her ankles, which are usually sandaled. Underneath that she wears worn black jeans that huge nicely to her thighs and flare out, along with a crimson tank top. She tries to hide in the streets but her appearance always causes her to stand out.
Personality: Aier used to be one of those girls who was outgoing, playful and filled with an inner contagious energy. However, when she gained her Navari attributes and her appeareance completely changed... she changed herself. She became quiet, timid and constantly untrusting of others. She was never mean but she couldn't allow herself to be openly nice... in fear that in the end she would be killed.
History: Aier was born to a single mother and she was an unwanted birth. However, her mother raised her in an apartment in the city and eventually her mother married another man. He was an abusive man but Aier remained cheerful and optimistic despite any harm that fell upon her. She went to school, she had friends... she had a life that she thought was good and better than most. However, the day she hit puberty... true puberty, she changed. She awoke to find herself completely different in appearance and with a tail... and like all children she ran to her mother for help. Her mother screamed however and soon her father came and began to yell and throw things at her in an outrage. They accused her of being demonic and unholy and soon she had to flee for her life. They told her to never come back... that she was unwelcomed in the beginning and she was unwelcomed now. Aier's life had done a one eighty degree turn within a heartbeat, and she was all alone.
She searched all over the city to find out what she was... but it usually was at night- because the daytime was filled with people and she was afraid of them. At night she stumbled across an old man, who took her in and told her about the Navari and the Nosferatu. Aier then learned she was a Navari... and she eagerly asked if she could perhaps join up and live with the Navari. The man remained silent for a moment until he looked at her hands... and that was when his mood changed. His eyes widened in fright as he stared at her and he swiftly shook his head. There was a legend... an old and powerful legend in many scripts, stating that one in white with the guidance of the moon and sun within her hands shall bring the Navari to their knees. That was the basic part of it anyways.. but it was basically interpreted by the Elder Navari - their little council- that the legend meant she would bring the downfall of the Navari. No one knows how though... and while it appears that Aier is a Draconis, she doesn't have any of their powers. She doesn't appear to have any powers...

Other: The Nosferatu are after her for some reason although she doesn't know why and she hasn't met any Navari who will help her- for the council has advised against it.






I'll post for my Tigrisdraconis later. ^_~ I wonder if you remember him RL? Everyone eventually hated him? lol

The Navari

Name: Bastian Cassius
Age: 26
Gender: Male (I really need to stop playing male characters...)

Demon Species: Lycan- Fox
Notable Abilities: Golden eyes that allow him to see in the dark, along with an increased sense of smell and hearing. He has clawed fingernails and toenails, and a soft padding on his feet and palms similar to that of a canine. His arms are slightly longer than his legs and well muscled enough to enable him to run on all fours in desperate situations. His teeth are shaped to a slight point similar to that of an carnivorous animal that is barely noticible unless one looks carefully... Or sees him eating, in which case it becomes very noticible.
Weapons: He carries a versatile "bag of tricks" which contains in it, one Colt .45 with bullets, a few grenades, several smoke bombs, a small katana, and a hodgepodge of other weaponry. This does not neccesarily imply that he's really all that skilled with any of them, but he knows enough to use them to effectively stay alive.

Description: In human form, Bastian is a handsome man of medium stature, although he gives an appearance of being lanky because of his long arms. He has a lithe, thin body that gives him excellent manueverability when in a fight. The palms of his hands and bottom of his feet are lightly padded and discolored a dull gray. His hair is a deep reddish brown color that seems to be a mixture of various shades similar to the coat of a fox and it is worn long (about to his midback), usually pulled back into a loose ponytail. He has a lightly tanned complexion that suggests that he spends a good deal of time out of doors. He has golden eyes that have the shape and physiology of a canine's eyes. He typically wears a khaki trenchcoat with a matching fedora over black jeans and a long-sleeved black shirt, as well as his "bag of tricks" which is simply a large duffel bag he carries over his shoulder.

In hybrid form, Bastian's back legs become that of a fox, including a long, bushy tail. The fox fur does not extend above the tail on his back and ends pretty much with his thighs and buttocks. In the front, however, the fur extends all the up to his neck. The fur on his chest area is solid white while his back legs and tail are the same color as his hair. On his head, a pair of small fox ears appear.

In full form, he resembles a typical fox only quite a bit larger than the average fox and three times as strong.
Personality: Like the fox he turns into, Bastian is cunning, sly, and a little bit devious. In fact, the phrase "dirty rotten scoundrel" comes to mind. However, he is a decent guy to be around even if he can be a dirtbag at times. He makes a living being something of a con artist, although he's learned from experience and the pain of loneliness to never con anyone that holds him in high regard as a friend. He's easy-going and friendly as well as being a smooth-talker with a glib tongue that can convince even the most skeptical person to trust him. While not incredibly vicious even when his animal side takes over, he has a tendency to be rather reckless in fights, but usually manages to find some clever way to get himself out of sticky situations. (Most believe he isn't really reckless, but merely enjoys putting himself in harm's way just to think of some smart way to get himself out of it again.)
History: His mother was a beautiful Lycan whose human form was nearly perfect... So perfect that she won the heart of a human man, without him ever realizing that his wife wasn't what she seemed. During the Lunar Cycle she would go off on her own and then return, much to the confusion of her husband. Shortly after Bastian was born (looking like a normal human, much to his mother's relief), her husband decided to follow her to see where she went when the moon was full and saw her completely transformed. Still slightly in her right mind, she realized what had happened, however the animal side of her took over and she killed her husband in rage. Upon realizing what she had done, she desposed of the body, returned to her home, and retreated with her son. At age thirteen when her son hit puberty and began to show signs of his Lycan nature, she decided the best thing to do was to leave him in the care of the Navari so that he could be trained and brought up to fight for their case, and, after that, the two of them never saw each other again.

Bastian wasn't extremely skilled at fighting and was a rather poor student, but he was allowed to stay on and fight for them anyway in hopes that he could possibly use his wiles as a benefit to them and not as a hindrence as he had done for the most part. So far, however, his favorite past time has simply been finding ways to con humans out of their money and anything else he can think of, much to his fellow Navaris' chagrin.

Other: Despite being a scoundrel, he's more than willing to lay down his life for a friend... Though it probably depends on who that friend is.


Whooo... I hope that was okay. ^^;;

For now I will post an ISE form..... sortof....... After more people have signed up I'll take a look at whether or not I wish to revive Taben.


The ISE

Name: Edmond Richards
Age: 42
Gender: male
Job: rogue agent, he's a 'Jack Frost'
Notable Skills: superb marksman, technological genius. He had a hand in almost all of the weapons the ISE has developed in the past 15 years to combat the supernatural.
Description: 5'11", sandy brown hair with a speckle of gray mixed in, dull blue eyes that almost look gray, extremely pale, very thin. In general he is a sickly looking person. He looks very frail and under nourished, almost to the point where a person might think he could be blown away on the breeze. He sometimes walks with a slight hunch and it is not uncommon to see him holding a handkerchief to his mouth. He wears well fitted clothing for the most part in dark contrasting colors but his overcoat appears a bit bulky for someone with his small frame. The overcoat conceals numerous weapons of strange and unrecognizable design to the average person.
Personality: Edmond is bitter and sarcastic and has trouble trusting anyone these days. He has a very cold and jaded outlook on life and the state of the world and doesn't hesitate to share it if anyone asks. He is reluctant to work with others now but will accept help readily when he knows he needs it. His motivations seem very clear and makes no secret of it. He is out to wipe every evil supernatural thing from the face of the planet. He does recognize that not everything supernatural is evil but he occasionally might shoot first and ask questions later under the wrong circumstances.
History: It was discovered at an early age that Edmond was a genius. He advanced through grades more than twice as fast as other kids. He was accepted to MIT with a full scholarship at 13. By 18 he completed his PHD in physics and by 22 he had his second PHD in mechanical engineering. He was just starting to work towards degrees in quantum mechanics and astrophysics when he was approached by the ISE. At first he was supremely skeptical but after doing a lot of research and digging on his own he found enough historical inaccuracies and ommissions to raise his curiosity. After some debate he joined the ISE at age 24. He went through their basic training first and it was discovered that he had a great proficiency with firearms of all sorts. His accuracy was better than most field agents, although he was less adept at almost everything else regarding physical activity. He could shoot better than almost anyone in the ISE but couldn't field strip a weapon to save his life and he took longer than most to reload. After basic training he spent a year in the forensics department of the ISE's NY branch. They wanted him to move to R&D immediately but he insisted on taking some time to familiarize himself with what they were dealing with firsthand and to get a feel for how the organization handled things. In time in Forensics he made a number of friends in every department and was generally well liked by all. His transition to R&D was greatly celebrated. He immediately jumped into his research and started developing methods for the disablement and containment of the supernatural beings the ISE was already aware of. Over the years he designed many of the various specialized rounds ISE field agents use, numerous delivery systems for the elements and chemicals that proved effective at subduing or if necessary killing the various supernatural beings the ISE was aware of, as well as specialized holding cells geared towards containment of the more dangerous species they knew of. A few years ago, a long time friend of his from the fieldwork department sent him an encrypted file indicating he believed there was a leak within the agency and that the Nosferatu were working on something big. Around the same time Edmond found out he had inoperable lung cancer. His friend disappeared shortly thereafter. Immediately he became greatly concerned and started prying into the investigation. As it progressed and his health started to deteriorate he became more and more frustrated and suspicious. Eventually he became so certain that there was a sinister element inside the ISE that he made the decision to go rogue. One day the NY R&D department came in to work to discover that Edmond had completely erased all of his files and records and absconded with all of his research and his prototypes that he was developing for field use. Since then he has continued developing his weaponry and technology but has taken to testing it all in the field without concern for disabling or containing his prey. He has become a hunter dedicated to stopping the approaching darkness and he shows little to no inhibitions in how he goes about it, motivated the luming thought of his own mortality. The last doctor he was examined by (6 months ago) estimated that he had 14 months to live.
Other: He is physically weak and he can't sustain physical activity for very long. Fortunately for him he has mastered the concept of a hunter's blind in the urban setting. He learns ahead of time the routines and hunting grounds of his prey and plans accordingly so he can wait for his prey to come to him. In other words he is an efficient and deadly hunter but he isn't able to give chase.

Hell I remember this. Kinda glad I get to resurrect this old char, changed a bit though of course. Let's hope it's successful.

Name: Mark Tyrr
Age: 19
Gender: Male

Demon Species: Draconis

Notable Abilities: He’s never suffered a serious injury in his life, though he’s never thought too deeply about it. It is the only ability he has so far gained from being a Draconis, though he doesn’t think it is anything unusual. Heck, he doesn’t even know he’s a Navari…

Weapons: A gun that he never leaves the house without (standard weapon because he’s a cop). He also keeps a black short sword at home that he found in a shop one day and bought because he felt a connection to the symbols engraved upon it.

Description: He’s about 6’5 with a strong, muscular build. His hair is a short, fiery red and his eyes are a stormy grey. During the day he'll wear his uniform (as he's required to) but he feels much more comfortable in things that are loose and generally dark, for some reason anything that rips easily is a bonus for him. He prefers trainers over everything, quick and easy to put together and of course, like everything else, black - although he prefers his trainers to fit securely around his feet. He has a strange swelling at the base of his spine and two on the back of either shoulder blade - strangest thing though; they seem to be getting bigger.
Personality: He's a nice guy, works hard, socialises every now and then, just basically trying to get through everyday life as best as he can. He feels different from other people, he feels like he doesn't belong where he is but he remains dedicated to his work because it's what he knows. Although he socialises fairly often he’s wary about getting ‘too close’ to people. He’s never had someone close to him before and he’s a little scared of taking the first steps into a real relationship. He might meet someone he feels comfortable with some day.
History: He grew up in an orphanage and was treated differently from all the other kids. He was given different food, different lessons, he was taught to fight and to protect but never why, why was never taught to him and he could never understand why he was treated differently or why he felt different. Puberty came and the 'special lessons' increased in intensity. The mood darkened, became more caution more...expecting, but nothing happened, whatever they were expecting never came and everything just collapsed around him. He was put up in a small flat and told to use what he'd learnt to make a life, so he did. He never found the answers to his questions but he found one thing that appealed to him - protecting. So he joined the police force and found himself in a nice job and a semi-quiet life. But he doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know that he is a Navari, that he is has been trained to fight the Nosferatu or that those strange swellings are the developing of a tail and wings. He doesn't know that his skin is tougher than that of a normal human's and he doesn't know why he feels comfortable taking a secured stroll in the evenings. And, he can't possibly know the questions or the complexities that will come to light when all of this finally comes out.

Other: incase nobody guessed, he hasn't gone through 'puberty' yet.

wheee... I will make my best attempt to complete this now, though I am currently feeling very ill and likely to pass out... I know I need to take better care of myself :(



The Navari

Name: Catherine Gales
Age: 24
Gender: Female

Demon Species: Jharhin
Notable Abilities: She is extremely light on her feet and has killer reflexes; she can often move almost too fast for the human eye to see. Her night vision in combination to her agility has led her into trouble a few times (see history).
Weapons: She prefers small, light blades that are easy to conceal on her person, but has some retractible blades that can cause some serious damage.

Description: Standing at about 5'5, Catherine is of slender build with long, dark hair that falls halfway down her back. Her hair is thin, however, allowing her to tie it up into a tight knot at the base of her neck and thus keeping it out of the way. She has a fair complexion with bright sping-green eyes that have a feline tilt to them; when provoked, the pupils will shift from 'normal' human shape to the slit of a cat. Her face is otherwise human, but starting at the throat on her left side are patterned markings on the skin that resemble leopard fur. This pattern, which develops into actual fur, works its way down her left side, spreading across her chest and lower back, meeting on her right hip and trailing down her right leg, leaving her left leg bare. Her ears are also patterned, but so lightly that one has to be looking for it to notice, and are slightly pointed. She tends to keep her tail out of sight, which is quite a task since it is rather long, by wearing a long black trenchcoat most of the time.
Personality: Catherine likes to play jokes on people; laughter is her way of dealing with everything. When her eyes twinkle, chances are that she's plotting some new scheme, but then her eyes almost always twinkle. She is much beloved by her friends, and she always knows just what to say to make things right again. She's not immature, but she does like to play around more than she does to be serious. Love and laughter will always be her signature.
History: Her father and mother were both Jharhin and were very careful with raising a daughter in human society. Her teen years were complete chaos; if it wasn't some boy going crazy for her, it was Catherine herself wreaking havok with her enhanced abilities. She had a few run-ins with the police for burglary, though they could never pin her with anything serious enough to put her away, since she was only caught when she returned the stolen goods (usually to the owner's surprise, since they often never realized that they were stolen in the first place). With her charming nature, the "victims" never wanted to press charges, leaving the law high and dry. She soon grew out of it, though, as she graduated high school with her public face intact. School itself was a challenge, since it was nearly impossible to hide what she was from her female classmates in the locker room during physical education classes, but so many people knew and loved her that no one raised a major fuss; some parents transferred their children to other schools, but there were generally no problems.

Other: Not yet

The Nosferatu

Name: Adonn
Age: 125
Gender: Male

Vampire Species: White Blood- Hard Blood father/ Quari mother
Weapons:Carries none and needs none. His body has always been sufficient.

Description: Adonn is a large imposing figure, both in terms of size and presence. Standing at a little over seven feet, he is not one to be ignored. His skin is a dark brown and at first glance, appears extremely dry. However, his skin is smooth to the touch, and appears to be made up of some sort of metallic alloy- he hasn't determined which. His eyes are very pale, appearing to be devoid of color, and his head is shaved. His poor eyesight forces him to wear a pair of black glasses, which he constantly adjusts- they don't fit exactly right, due to the size of his face. Prefers to travel at night, if possible- wearing a dark green trenchcoat and a green fedora, which he keeps to cover his face in shadow. Shoes are much harder to come by, and he's grown used to traveling barefoot. No one quite dares to ask such a large man why he enters a store without shoes.

Personality-"Adonn- son of none." Considered scum by one half of his heritage and ignored by the other, Adonn wanders the earth, always drifting, without a purpose. For money, he often works as a bodyguard for anyone rich enough to afford him. If that's not possible, he will even sink as low as providing muscle for a protection racket. He has no qualms about violence or killing save one- no matter which species, he will not kill a child, even if he was starving for fresh blood. Above all, he believes that children are innocent and untainted, just as he was- before the harsh lessons of life were taught.

History-He doesn't know the details surrounding his birth, but from his own investigation, he has learned this much- his father was the romantic, flighty type; traveling the world, feeding and spreading his seed. Eventually, his father charmed the woman who would be his mother, who truly believed that she was loved for the first time. They had a child together, before being set upon by a roving pack of Vampires. Disgusted at their coupling, the pack of Nosferatu slew his father, before going on and turning on the small village they lived in. On the night that the descendants would eventually christen the "Eve of Blood," his mother fled, carrying her newborn child. She lived for a few years longer before passing on from the grief of losing her husband.

The name Adonn was actually a pun- the name he took on for himself. Adonis was the name for the perfect specimen of a male- beautiful in every way. Adonn himself is in no ways beautiful, and developed an extreme dislike for both vampires and demons who have no problem passing as human (in particular, Jharhin and Cubi.)He often deliberates at length before choosing a target for the "hunt-" because of his size and speed, the chances of escape must be 0% every time. With the kind of career choices he takes (protection, extortion, blackmail) there is always the opportunity for killing. No one cares what happens to the corpse.

Other: Adonn has made little contact with either demons or vampires.

Think that's it...

Heald - A Jumping spider, nice, and his mother ate his father? That's just brilliant.

Bulbasaur4 - Ooh, foreshadowing, and best of all this fits well with some of the stuff I had planned.

kawaiispinel - That was great, just remember that carrying all those weapons together might put you at a disadvantage.

Outlaw JT - You've managed to develop the ISE more in your post than I could have done before hand. Thank you! I'm getting ideas of the Initiative from Buffy from some of the stuff you said, but otherwise, that's excellent.

Samchu - Ooh, clever. A Navari that hits a late puberty. Nice.

Drusilla - I don't want you to pass out because of the rpg :( Yay a Jharhin!

Ace64 - Interesting, a vampire with a heart (so to speak), but still one ready to crush skulls. He makes me think of the Thing from Fantastic Four a little.



All accepted of course, its so nice not to have to read through Sample RPGs all the time. Oh, and if someone would like to come up with a name for the city this takes place in, please go ahead. I exhausted my ability name things.

Nosferatu

Name: Nectaire

Age: 185

Gender: Male

Vampire Species: Cubi (Incubus)

Birth: Soft Blood Father/ Hard Blood Mother

Weapons: Two blood red, iron-rusted, double-sided daggers.

Description: Tall with a slender build, Nectaire’s is the image that most conjure up when someone speaks the word, “Incubus.” Two midnight-purple eyes like aqua-marines gleam out of his skull, his chestnut hair cropped short in military fashion. His mouth is ridged with gleaming white teeth. He usually wears extravagant suits – silk, cashmere, whatever. Nothing is to expensive for the fair-skinned psychopath.

Personality: For a vampire, Nectaire is rather soft-spoken, but don’t take that as any sign of innocence. He’d just as soon cut someone’s throat as sympathize with them. Cold-hearted as he is sly, to Nectaire, killing is just something that you do on a Sunday morning. He kills because he’s bored, and he’s quite unbalanced. At times he can be a depressed suicidal, and at others a manic sociopath – all at the drop of a hat.

History: Nectaire was born in eighteenth-century Brooklyn to a New York socialite, a certain woman that, as far as the boy could tell, bore the name: Maria Donavon. Of course this was just an alias – her real name had been Mara. His father, a stupid man only interested in money and what was actually tangible, had forced her to marry him, after acquiring some…. photographs…. of her….
She had disposed of him just before her son was born.

Nectaire was raised by day as a human, receiving the best education in everything – music, art, languages, etc. By night, he raised by his Hard Blood mother, who instructed him in the art of being. A few years later, when he was fourteen, he killed her.
Just a part of being better than everyone else.

At this time, he became slightly mad with pleasure, seeking it wherever he could find, whether it be by sex, drugs, or just the dull happiness of killing children. Anything to get that one indefinable moment.
As a rule, he chose not to actually search for his Nosferatu brethren. He is currently at large.

Other: Along with being a void-hearted murderer, Nectaire is a master musician.

fireguardian - The only thing I can see wrong is you saying he was raised as a human by day. I just hope you mean he was kept indoors at those times. Accepted

pokemon4eva - Sorry but that's the sort of sign up form I came here to escape from. For starters Falcon's are not part of the Corvidae family (Falconidae actually), not to mention your character appears to be naked and totally unsociable and in the wrong mind set for a Navari. Denied


UPDATE

Sorry this RPG hasn't started yet guys, but i'm working flat out every day for the next two weeks training and preparing for my new job (at a Borders store, so anyone who knows what they are like, imagine having to put all the books out in alphabetical order. Sounds fun huh?) Anyway, I work 8:30 - 19:00, and i don't actually get home till about 19:30 so my evening mostly consists of me sitting down exhausted, drinking some tea, having a bite to eat then falling asleep. Even as I'm typing this I can feel my muscles seizing up. After the store is opened, and I'm put onto Shifts, (23rd is opening day) the week after that I should be good to go, and I'll get the RPG up and running. Thanks for waiting people.
